How to Make Tex Mex Ground Beef Stew

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed).
  3. Stir in 2 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  6. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the stew.
  7. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the stew has thickened to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and shredded cheese (optional).
